Hybrid energy storage systems utilizing redox active organic compounds

Patent Wang, Wei ; Xu, Wu ; Li, Liyu ; Yang, Zhenguo

Redox flow batteries (RFB) have attracted considerable interest due to their ability to store large amounts of power and energy. Non-aqueous energy storage systems that utilize at least some aspects of RFB systems are attractive because they can offer an expansion of the operating potential window, which can improve on the system energy and power densities. One example of such systems has a separator separating first and second electrodes. The first electrode includes a first current collector and volume containing a first active material. The second electrode includes a second current collector and volume containing a second active material. Duringmore »« less

Energy storage device including a redox-enhanced electrolyte

Patent Stucky, Galen ; Evanko, Brian ; Parker, Nicholas ; Vonlanthen, David ; Auston, David ; Boettcher, Shannon ; Chun, Sang-Eun ; Ji, Xiulei ; Wang, Bao ; Wang, Xingfeng ; et al

An electrical double layer capacitor (EDLC) energy storage device is provided that includes at least two electrodes and a redox-enhanced electrolyte including two redox couples such that there is a different one of the redox couples for each of the electrodes. When charged, the charge is stored in Faradaic reactions with the at least two redox couples in the electrolyte and in a double-layer capacitance of a porous carbon material that comprises at least one of the electrodes, and a self-discharge of the energy storage device is mitigated by at least one of electrostatic attraction, adsorption, physisorption, and chemisorption ofmore »« less

Systems and methods for solar energy storage, transportation, and conversion utilizing photochemically active organometallic isomeric compounds and solid-state catalysts

Patent Vollhardt, K. Peter C. ; Segalman, Rachel A ; Majumdar, Arunava ; Meier, Steven

A system for converting solar energy to chemical energy, and, subsequently, to thermal energy includes a light-harvesting station, a storage station, and a thermal energy release station. The system may include additional stations for converting the released thermal energy to other energy forms, e.g., to electrical energy and mechanical work. At the light-harvesting station, a photochemically active first organometallic compound, e.g., a fulvalenyl diruthenium complex, is exposed to light and is photochemically converted to a second, higher-energy organometallic compound, which is then transported to a storage station. At the storage station, the high-energy organometallic compound is stored for a desiredmore »« less
